CHARLESTON AND COLLEGES BAS Second Game of Season Overwhelming Victory Score 53 to 9 Carolina overwhelmed the Col lege of Charleston basketball team last Wednesday night by a score of 53 to 9. The game was rather one sided but was far faster than the score would indi cate. Many plays by the Caro lina team brought the gallery to I their feet and the college from by the sea was given a hand sev eral times. Coach Foster's men i bewildered the visitors after the - first minute of play by their I speed and passing, but they were I game and fought hard from start to finish. The game started with the ball I in first one end of the court and then another. Carolina drew first blood and from then on had things almost their own way. The improvement over the form shown against Wofford was mark - ed. Every man was on the jump in every play. The first half under Carolina 34, Charles k ton 6. The beginning of the second I half showed much improvement > for Charleston but the speed I soon began to tell and Carolina again started the heavy scoring which she kept up to the end.

PRESBYTERIAN KETBALL VICTIMS Improved Form Shown In Fast Game Vs. P. C. Score 32 to 29 In the prettiest game of Basket ball ever witnessed on the Uni versity court. Carolina defeated Presbyterian College by the score of 32 to 29. From start to finish every spectator's nerves were almost to a breaking point and the cheering made it almost im possible to hear the referee. Every man of both teams was in the game from stai t to finish and many fouls were called because of the over zealousness of the players. These, however, did not dull or slow up the game and were about equally divided be. tween the two teams. Both teams showed form from the very beginning and except ing a few miscues made in the first few minutes of the game, caused by the similarity of uni forms, there were few miscalcu lations made. At the end of the first half the score stood 17 to 13 in the Gamecocks' favor. In the second half P. C. came back, and tied the score. For about five minutes there was only one of two points separpting--first one and then another leading. Right at the end Carolina rushed three field goals, one after another and the timekeepers whistle found Carolina the winner 32 to 29. The Presbyterians outclassed the Gamecocks in passing but were not as speedy and made their passes from too great a dis tance. Individual stars are hard to pick but Belk for P. C. de serves particular mention, scor (co)NTINU'E10 ON S'~*:~ IX ETBALL SCHEDULE o Date Wofford ....................38 Charleston College............9 Presbyterian College........ 29 be Played ..... ...............
